Charlotte Balbier: I work hard to always use the finest fabrics and make sure I do my research on what is out that there is both new and fresh and classic and elegant. I adore lace, and French and Italian laces have long since been a favorite of mine to work with.

• 5 Star Weddings: What do you think attracts brides to come to your collection?

Charlotte Balbier: All my brides comment on how unlike anything else the brand and collections are which is always lovely to hear as my aim always has been to keep the brand fresh and exciting for brides to be. Many brides email me with the same dilemma… what Charlotte Balbier gown do they pick as they often love more than one.

Now 10 years on and exclusively stocked in 40 boutiques nationwide, the label is set to embark on a fresh and exciting journey with the new direction proving that to innovate and lead by example are always top of the priority list for me and the team behind me.

Charlotte Balbier: So hard to pick just one as they are all so lovely, I have a special place in my heart for ‘Rose’ though. This gown is the ultimate in femininity, a real dreamy wedding gown.

• 5 Star Weddings: What would be your top tip for planning your wedding?

Charlotte Balbier: As a bride to be myself (Set to say ‘I do’ later this year) my top tip is be super organised, the more organised you are the less stressed you will be.

• 5 Star Weddings: In your opinion what makes a 5 Star Wedding?

Charlotte Balbier: Having your wedding your way. So many couples are influenced by what they think they should have or should do. Prioritise a list and then divide your budget in order of priority. For example my main priorities were a photographer, flowers and of course the dress. But for another couple it could be food, entertainment and cars, every couple is different and that’s what makes every single wedding so exciting because they are unique.

I would rather use my budget on what I want and not what people expect you to have, for me cars are not a priority so I am only using a small part of our budget on these but I have blown the budget on amazing flowers and I can’t wait!
